I was so surprised and pleased with my wonderful gifts, and the effort everyone had put into making my birthday so special, that I could not stop thanking them!

That was when Sam revealed she had another little surprise for me...

I wonder what it could be...

Bowls of course!

You see, I have a habit of constantly asking if I can borrow one of her bowls to make my porridge in, (I somehow never thought of buying my own), so for my birthday she presented me with not one, but two!

Just before the food arrived we decided to get in a couple of group photos.

This is our final year together, and so we agreed that at every opportunity we would try and get a good photo of us.

So I felt that my birthday was a perfect opportunity.

Lauren also revealed that she had booked me and her a table at a local hotel for afternoon tea, which I am so excited to tell you all about!

I was well and truly spoilt rotten.

The food was also delicious!

I decided to go for the pulled pork baguette, and I was so glad I did.

It was full of flavour and just the perfect size.

Afterwards, me and the Mr headed back to the house to pack up the last of our things before we jumped on a train to Manchester.

We met my dad and headed to my boyfriends house, ready for some more celebrations.

I was greeted by some banners across the door saying 'Happy 21st Birthday' and a house full of decorations.

His mum had also made a lovely meal for us, which was accompanied by a couple of glasses of Prosecco.

Thank you to everyone who made my 21st birthday so unforgettable, and for all the amazing gifts I received!

I am so lucky to have you all.

Now it was time to jump on a plane, and let the celebrations continue for just a little bit longer...
